Leeds goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel will return to the squad for the home clash with Hull.

The 24-year-old missed the win at Coventry after becoming a father for the first time, but he could return to the starting line-up in place of on-loan Jason Brown, who leapfrogged Shane Higgs into the side on Saturday due to the latter's recent injury.

Max Gradel and midfield partner Amdy Faye both missed training on Monday after picking up knocks at Coventry.

Manager Simon Grayson revealed that "one or two other players" have been struggling with illness.

John Bostock, on loan from Tottenham, and player/coach Nick Barmby could be recalled to the starting line-up as the Tigers chase their first league win since a 2-0 victory at Norwich at the end of September - eight matches ago.
